    Scoliosis is often detected when a parent, teacher or coach notices something unusual in a child’s form like clothes that fit awkwardly or hang unevenly. Many times a parent may notice a sideways curvature in their child's back while at a pool or beach.

    Catholic Health's pediatric scoliosis specialists at Good Samaritan Hospital (West Islip, NY) and St. Charles Hospital (Port Jefferson, NY) treat scoliosis and other spinal deformities.

    Early detection of scoliosis often means less invasive treatment like bracing instead of surgery. Schedule an appointment with a specialist if your child is showing any signs of scoliosis, including:

    • One hip higher than the other
    • One shoulder blade more prominent than the other
    • Uneven shoulders and/or waist
